Chapter 392: Hell Freezes Over
Mo Rao frowned slightly. She didn’t want to see this woman.
After being here for so long, Mo Rao didn’t even realize that Lin Xia was here.
“Lin Xia, whatever you want to say, just say it,” Mo Rao didn’t want to beat around the bush with Lin Xia and said bluntly.
“I don’t want to quarrel with you.” Lin Xia’s attitude surprised Mo Rao. “I want to invite you to my birthday party.”
Birthday party?
Mo Rao didn’t know what Lin Xia was up to. Would she be so kind as to invite her to a birthday party?
Looking at Mo Rao’s puzzled expression, Lin Xia explained, “I really underestimated you previously. Your acting skills aren’t bad. You deserve to be the female lead of ‘Butterfly Fragrance’. Therefore, I want to apologize to you.”
Hearing this, Mo Rao felt baffled and shocked.
Lin Xia actually wanted to apologize to her?
However, Lin Xia didn’t look like she was lying to her.
There was no irreconcilable conflict between Mo Rao and Lin Xia, and since Lin Xia took the initiative to make peace, Mo Rao didn’t want to make things too difficult for her. Mo Rao agreed and asked, “Okay, when is it?”
Lin Xia smiled at Mo Rao and handed her an invitation. “Three nights later.”
Mo Rao took the exquisite invitation and placed it in her bag.
The banquet quickly came to an end. Mo Rao was about to leave when Fu Ying stopped her.
“Rao Rao, I’ll send you.” Fu Ying’s expression darkened when he saw the gift box in Mo Rao’s hand, but he still tried his best to remain gentle to her.
“President Fu, your own matter hasn’t been resolved yet, so don’t get involved with Mo Rao anymore.” Before Mo Rao could respond, Gu Ci walked to Mo Rao’s side and snubbed Fu Ying.
Fu Ying frowned and clenched his fists. “I’ll give evidence about Mo Xiao sooner or later.”
“But not now.” Gu Ci retorted with ease, “So, for Mo Rao’s sake, ushouldn’t disturb her anymore.”
“As for her going home… I’ll send her back.” Gu Ci looked at Mo Rao with a gentle expression. “Can I?”
Mo Rao was also looking for an excuse to reject Fu Ying. Now that Gu Ci took the initiative to send her home, Mo Rao quickly agreed. “Of course.”
“Mo Rao!” Fu Ying was indignant and grabbed her hand to ask her to stay.
However, Mo Rao shook him off coldly. “Fu Ying, just as Gu Ci said, treat it as doing this for my sake.”
Fu Ying’s body stiffened. For the first time, he didn’t have the courage to grab Mo Rao’s hand and could only watch as Mo Rao and Gu Ci left together.
While sitting in Gu Ci’s car, Mo Rao didn’t say a single word. Gu Ci was the first to break the silence. “Do you like that set of jewelry?”
Mo Rao came back to her senses and smiled at Gu Ci. “Yes, but… this set of jewelry is too expensive. I can’t accept it.”
She had accepted it just now purely to prevent Gu Ci from being publicly embarrassed. Actually, Mo Rao had already thought of returning this set of jewelry to Gu Ci.
Hearing this, Gu Ci stepped on the brakes and turned to look at Mo Rao. “I gave this to you, so don’t worry about the price.”
For some reason, Mo Rao felt an inexplicable sense of pressure.
“I designed it for you,” Gu Ci continued.
For her?
Mo Rao was stunned. Could it be that Gu Ci really liked her?
She didn’t dare to probe further. She didn’t want to be in a relationship at all for the near future. She only wanted to focus on filming.
“Alright, then… thank you.” Mo Rao could only accept this gift.
Seeing that Mo Rao had agreed, Gu Ci heaved a sigh of relief and drove her home.
“I’ll stay in the country from now on,” Gu Ci suddenly said on the way back.
“What about your company?” Mo Rao asked in surprise.
“The business overseas is already very stable, and my father will also manage some of the company’s matters. I want to develop my domestic business.” Gu Ci looked at the long road ahead as he replied, “So we can see each other a lot in the future.”
For a moment, Mo Rao had mixed feelings.
Could Gu Ci have returned to the country for her?
However, Gu Ci didn’t express his feelings for Mo Rao. He sent her home in silence.
“See you.”
Before Mo Rao got out of the car, Gu Ci gazed at her deeply.
